Israel’s military said it killed two Hamas commanders and a military intelligence official in separate airstrikes across the besieged Gaza Strip over the past week. The claims, reported on July 26, 2026, concerned strikes in central and northern Gaza on Monday and Tuesday, according to the Israeli military.

Israel said Mahankad Asad Mahmoud Abu Ghazal, commander of Hamas’s elite Nukhba cell, was killed in an airstrike in central Gaza on Monday. It said Raed Hani Mohammed al-Amsi, head of Hamas’s Aerial Surveillance Platoon, was killed in a separate strike in northern Gaza on Tuesday.

The Israeli military also said Nabhan Mohammed Nabhan al-Amsi, head of the military intelligence department of Hamas’s Gaza Brigade, was killed in the same Tuesday strike. Hamas had not issued an immediate reaction or comment on the claims. The report said at least 73,317 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military campaign in Gaza since October 2023, with women and children comprising a large share of those killed.
